I believe the answer is:

standard

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'normal' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'attitude by regular characters in harrods' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'attitude' could be 'stand' (stand is a kind of attitude) and 'stand' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ard' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for standard that I've seen before include "Principle" , "Guide-line" , "some soldiers find bearable?" , "The usual range" , "Typical, normal" .)
